By now every team has bowled each other once, so next week is the Spring 2003 position round. But enough about next week, you came here to read about this week. The seventh week saw two teams climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. Six bowlers set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (197) and series (529) for the women, while David Codding earned this week's high game (214) and series (605) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 17 & 18: Canned Crabs kept stealing sips of beer from Hulk Smash!. Blessed by Eric Lynch with his below-average 440 series, the Crabs collected 3 wins against the Hulk. Concurrently, Carl Goetz ruled the Hulk with his 528 despite his team notching only a single win. Canned Crabs leap 1 spot in the standings to 6th place, while the Hulk sinks 1 spot to 7th.
On lanes 19 & 20: The Good Sons sparred with D-Day. Though reinforced by Marca Robinson with her spectacular 406 series, the Sons got swept by D-Day. In the meantime, Ken M. Wilson took the lead in D-Day with his below-average 483 (benefitted greatly by real star — trifecta-winner #1 Power-Ranked, #1 Head-to-Head, and Most Valuable Bowler Scott Murdock) as they swept the competition. The Good Sons remains in 4th place, while D-Day moves 1 spot to 1st.
On lanes 21 & 22: Bowlers of Mass Destruction chucked gutter balls with Top Guns. With top billing by Jarrod Guthrie with his astonishing 527 series, Mass Destruction collected 3 wins against Top Guns. On the other side, Bob Brunker called the shots for Top Guns with his 534 despite his team notching only a single win. Bowlers of Mass Destruction remains in 3rd place, while Top Guns sink 1 spot to 2nd.
Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: When Push Comes To Shove alternated splits with Spanked. Led by David Codding with his above-average 605 series, the Shovers celebrated a clean sweep over Spanked. Meanwhile, Bill Krejci laid down the law in Spanked with his 503 despite his team getting swept. When Push Comes To Shove remains in 5th place, while Spanked remains in 8th.
Bowlers who lied to their significant other claiming bowling was running long then went out for after-bowling drinks at The 200 Club include: Carl Goetz (210), David Codding (207,214), and Keith Blay (204)
